Blogg om digitalt oberoende

Förutom de sajter jag tidigare skrivit som Sociala medier underifrån, Vardagsteknik som numera heter Linuxfika, Frikopplad, Friprogramvarusyndikatet och Kamratdataföreningen Konstellationen har det ny dykt upp ytterligare en sajt som heter Den nya kontinenten.

From fixing tricky bugs to strengthening the open-source community 💜

In our latest interview, we sit down with Justin Luth, a long-time contributor whose journey spans early DOS days, low-connectivity environments, and years of improving Collabora Online.

Justin shares what motivates him to contribute, why local-first software matters, and what open source truly means to him — beyond the code.
